The Alzheimer's Association dedicates donations to providing information, support, programming and services for the thousands affected by Alzheimer's or other form of dementia, who live in the 80 counties we serve. This may include individuals with the diagnosis, but also caregivers and family members who are impacted. We fund research into the cause, treatments, prevention and cure for Alzheimer's.

Some statistics about Alzheimer's disease:

Alzheimer's affects more than 5 million Americans, including the over 62,000 Iowans.

By 2050, researchers say as many as 16 million Americans could have the disease.
